Commands

NETCONTROL ADDLINK

Discussion

This command adds an already conﬁgured link to an active network

interface without having to ﬁrst bring down and then restart the

network interface or the entire transport. This can be a link for a

newly-conﬁgured node mapping, a link being shared with another

subsystem such as RJE/iX or SNA/iX, or a link being restarted after an

earlier failure due to link errors. Note that some link errors are so

serious that an ADDLINK cannot restore use of the link.

The control process will create a new link driver for the speciﬁed link

and bind it to the existing network interface and its network interface

protocols.

This function is mainly used with router NI types.

Example

To add the linkname “PSI48” to the active NI “ROUTER1”, enter

:NETCONTROL ADDLINK=PSI48; NET=ROUTER1
